Instead of worry about what classes they will run I'd be more interested in hearing about how they are going to get people in the stands. I don't think I ever saw more than a 1/3rd full grandstand at best, but I wasn't there every week either.

If they run non wing sprints, I'll be there every week.

It looks like Plymouth bailed on that idea, even though they had good car counts and fans in the seats. Someone could take advantage of that.

There was a real big crowd for the Sprint Week show they had there. They ran a USAC Midget show there, which drew a big crowd, as well. MSCS drew a real nice crowd, too. Not as big as the USAC ones, but respectable. And that place has a big seating capacity, so as long as they can have enough space to park everybody, they could host some marquee events there, once they get their operation up and going.

Didn't Kamp used to be a pavement track many years ago? Henry Motor Speedway I think?? Love to see some old photos of the place.

If they decide to run sprints they need a good catch fence and move flagstand out of harms way.
